Comment on Remember when Target blamed theft for closing stores? It's all lies.
Pasta4u@lemmy.world 1 year agoLol what dies a bowling ally have to do with anything ? Who cares what it was previously. A shop rite opened up in a dead abandoned mall by me and its user popular and always busy.
Petty theft is one thing but of you get hit enough it adds up. Bot every shop lifter fills a car full high end items and leaves. Some take a small amount if items and come back dozens of times a week. Sometimes multiple times a day. I was a store fixer for toys r us about 20 years ago. This one woman would come in a few days a week and pocket magic the gathering cards packs and other card game packs. While I was there we caught her in camera taking $200 worth of packs each trip. That was a single person doing it.

It’s okay- literally ever Portland local agrees that this was the reason for the stores closing down. What national news reports is incredibly out-of-touch.

Well of course, why blame themselves for bad politicians they voted in when they can blame others. It’s the American way. Thankfully Oakland, Chicago and other places are starting to wake up to what is really going on
